Critics Ratings

'The 2018 Chardonnay The Site has a well-defined bouquet of citrus lemon, wet limestone and white peach. The balanced palate delivers a fine bead of acidity, good substance and hints of candy floss and grilled walnut toward the precise finish. Excellent.' - Neal Martin, Vinous, 91/100 (Jul 2021)
